Transcript of Show Cause Hearing Released in Judge Jones Case

On Wednesday morning, a transcript from a recent show cause hearing — in the litigation to determine whether Jackson Walker should be forced to return about $13 million in legal fees earned in bankruptcy cases before former Judge David Jones — was made publicly available. 

Southern District of Texas Chief bankruptcy Judge Eduardo Rodriguez had said at the Aug. 7 hearing that he “was pretty confident most of” the transcript of the hearing should be unsealed, but he allowed time for attorneys for Jackson Walker and Jones to object. The docket does not reflect that any objections were filed.
